Chapter on Injuries and Killing Between Women and Men
وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ قَتَلَ اِمْرَأَةً فَقَالَ "إِنْ أَرَادَ أَهْلُ اَلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ أَدَّوْا نِصْفَ دِيَتِهِ وَ قَتَلُوهُ وَ إِلاَّ قَبِلُوا اَلدِّيَةَ".
Abu Baṣir narrated from one of the Imams (peace be upon them) that they said: I asked: "What if a man kills a woman?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "If the family of the woman wishes to have him killed, they must pay half of his diyyah (blood money) and then they may kill him. Otherwise, they should accept the diyyah."
